Between talking about deep New York-related observations and trying to be professional at my internship, I haven’t had much time for some good silly talk. So, I want to break out for a second.
I don’t like mayonnaise.
It’s helpful in holding a Chick Fil-A chicken salad sandwich together or making a chocolate cake moist and rich, but on its own, I’m not a fan. Kind of like a Jonas Brother trying to go solo, like the the one with the shaggy hair. He would probably strike out, but together those three make sweet, sweet music. Actually, I don’t know jack about the Jonas Bros., but my point is made.
I often regret when I forget to hold the mayo on a Backyard Burger Jr. Burger or Arby’s Turkey Bacon Ranch sandwich. Then I have to scrape that creamy mess off of the top bun with a french fry, napkin, or credit card.
CM, however, LOVES mayo. Every Chick Fil-A sandwich she has gets ruined with a packet of Kraft Light Mayo slathered all over it. It’s a testament to my love of CFA that I’ll still finish off her food.
It was her dream come true when we went to Belgium and got one of their trademark snacks: fries with mayo. The mustard fries are mine.
I think that mayo was blacklisted when I saw the infomercial for the Thunderstick, the powerful handheld blender that made fresh fruit smoothies and whipped cream from skim milk. Basically, you take raw eggs and a lot of vegetable oil and whip it into a frothy, artery-destroying concoction. (the yuck begins around 1:00)
Hellmans. Miracle Whip. Publix. It doesn’t matter. No race, color, or religion of mayo finds favor in my eyes. Sorry for the diatribe, but you know how I emotional I get about these fundamental life issues. So much for trying to be funny.
Where do you stand in the battle of good vs. mayo?

It’s weird with me.
There are some days that I hate mayo and some days that I don’t mind it.
I usually only like mayo mixed with ketchup. And sometimes if I feel a sandwich is too dry, I need to add mayo. But soon enough, I regret the decision to add the mayo because it becomes disgusting to me. I’m so bipolar when it comes to mayo.
But the strangest thing is that I really like mayo on subs from Subway, Quizno’s, and the like.
Mmmm…I love mayo. CM is right. (Sorry, Cool Dad.)
raq – maybe there’s a prescription med that can help? talk to your doctor first.
pq – it’s all good. in your love of mayo, Jesus is made strong.
I’ve never liked it. I scrape it off with a fry just like you, but I never forget to special order they just rarely get my order right.
I mainly eat deli type sandwiches dry, as well as the chick-fil-a. Burgers can have ketchup though, I love ketchup (does not mean I love a lot of ketchup).
I only eat mayo when it’s in chicken, tuna, or potato salad. I don’t know what it’s doing in your chocolate cake and I don’t want to find out.
some people use mayo in cakes, since they would use eggs and oil anyway. here’s a recipe.
I say this because I know you like it, deep down inside I know you like mayo.
My friend from HS used to work at Subway and he would squeeze the mayo strait into his mouth. Just to make us want to puke…
that’s one dude who i do NOT want making my sandwich
Friends don’t let friends eat Mayo. Nice to know I’m not alone in this world
I’m with you. Mayo only when necessary (e.g., tuna salad, egg salad, and with my artichoke). Otherwise, I always say HOLD IT.
Scraping it off with a credit card-lol!! I’m okay with mayo. I definitely mix it in with tuna. Mayo in cake sounds so wrong. That photo of the fries and humongous blob of mayo is disgusting. (Sorry cool mum).
Mayo is alright here…By the way, Miracle whip, technically is not Mayo…it’s Salad Dressing, although most people (including myself) use it as a Mayo topping for sandwhiches, etc…
I use flax in my cakes (instead of mayo, eggs or oil) but I like the flavor on my sandwiches so I buy this vegan kind of mayo that doesn’t have eggs or cholesterol. So it’s really not mayo, it just tastes like it. I did, however, get grossed out by that picture – that’s way too much mayo.
Oh, and “in your love of mayo, Jesus is made strong” made me laugh out loud.
I think you’re all missing the point. The question here is: Which Jonas Brother would successfully fly solo?
I’m going with Nick, the pianist. (And I am only saying that to exercise my new knowledge gleaned from a couple hours with middle school girls last night.)
my name it tam and i like me some mayo.

we are in complete agreement on this….mayo…eww!! i got mayo and mustard (which i don’t like either) on a sandwich the other day and it was too much to scrapoe off or ignore…i had to eat my sandwich “protien style” which i guess was better for me in the long run?

richies – fight the good fight!
annie – smart!
brenda – yes!
skirkham – yeah, i just lumped Miracle Whip into the creamily-gross food group along with mayo.

sarah – glad to know you’re one of the good guys! (well, girls, but you know what i mean)
Not a fan! However, I spent some time in Peru and they ate it on EVERYTHING!
Love mayo – but not just dumped on top of fries. =P
Miracle Whip is a whole ‘nother story. That is just nasty right there.
luke – i wouldn’t have guessed Peru to be a mayo nation.
mandy – i think it’s just a miracle that people like the stuff.
Love mustard, love mayo (Ketchup, not so much), but the image on this post… it disturbs me. That might be a bit much… especially the mayo.
